Hindutva Vs Pseudo Secularism

The Da Vinci code is banned in Tamil Nadu. It is surprising to see that it has been banned in all states where congress is ruling or supporting (Andhra Pradesh, Pondicherry, Tamil Nadu, and Meghalaya). Where is the freedom of expression? Can a fiction ever erode religious beliefs? This is pseudo secularism, practiced by Congress.

Pseudo-secularism in a societal setting is the state of implicit non-secular trends in the face of pledged secularism. (Thanks to google)

Hey guys... Don't jump to the conclusion. I am not a Hindutva fanatic or an adherent BJP supporter. I also condemn Hindutva. Let's have a perspicacious look about the Hindutva factor prevailing in our country.

Hindutva, (according to google) is an extremist Hindu movement, not to be confused with Hinduism. The term used by RSS/VHP/BJP to gain votes. Mr. Narendra Modi is an adroit politician in the field of Hindutva politics. Today's attack on RSS office in Nagpur is a signal of an anti-Hindutva movement, which is gaining momentum.

At last, it's the innocent common man, who is affected.(whether it's Gujarat's godhra riots or varnashi's sankat mochan temple attack)

Is India a "Secular" country??

Secularism: The neutrality of the State, local government and all public services in matters relating to one or more religions or to one or more creeds.

Unfortunately, our government is no where near that. Communal harmony should not be confused with secularism. There is a lot of difference between them. The preamble of our constitution is defied.

Is it possible for our country to be secular?
Yes… That’s when you throw all the existing political parties out of our country. Right now, it’s a question of “devil & deep sea”. We can only hope for a better future.
